Always chop your veggies the same size. A chopped Meal Prep Salad is a salad that has all of its ingredients chopped into small pieces. That way, you don’t need to use a knife to cut the big pieces while you are eating. PLUS you get a little bit of every ingredient in each bite.
What’s the best way to chop a chopped salad?
I just use a sharp knife and a cutting board to chop the veggies by hand. You can also use a mandoline or a vegetable chopper.
Why is my salad soggy?
Don’t let your Meal Prep Salad get soggy! The best way to keep this Meal Prep Salad from getting soggy is to store the dressing separately, add a folded paper towel into your container to absorb moisture and only dress the salad right before serving!
